Answer :

• Second number is 2 2/5

Given :

• The product of two numbers is 2 4/5
• One of the numbers is 1 1/6

To find :

• Other number

Solution :

• Let the second number be x

⇢ 1 1/6 × x = 2 4/5

⇢ 7/6 × x = 14/5

⇢ x = 14/5 × 6/7

⇢ x = 12/5

⇢ x = 2 2/5

Hence , Second number is 2 2/5

Verification :

⇢ 1 1/6 × x = 2 4/5

⇢ 1 1/6 × 2 2/5 = 2 4/5

⇢ 7/6 × 12/5 = 2 4/5

⇢14/5 = 2 4/5

⇢2 4/5 = 2 4/5
